Renkus-Heinz Officially Launches Groundbreaking OmniBeam Technology

Foothill Ranch, California | September 2024 — Renkus-Heinz has officially launched OmniBeam, a new beam-steering software tool available for free with the latest RHAON II 2.5.0 release.

OmniBeam delivers optimized audio performance with a simple press of the “Snap to Audience” button. The algorithm generates custom-tailored coverage precisely aligned to the exact geometry of any space, providing the most consistent front-to-back audio experience possible.

“The driving philosophy behind OmniBeam was to give consultants and integrators back their time,” says Renkus-Heinz CTO Ralph Heinz. “By taking the rocket science out of simulating and commissioning steerable arrays, Renkus-Heinz has demonstrated how beam steering is suitable for more venues than just difficult reverberant spaces – it’s a toolbox for places where aesthetics, ease of integration, and best possible audio experience are top priorities.” 

RHAON II 2.5.0, the latest version of Renkus-Heinz’s proprietary control software, is available as a free download on the company’s website.

We look forward to connecting with our customers about how we can meet their needs and help them take control of their sound.” 

On display at ISE 2024 will be:

OmniBeam

With OmniBeam, Renkus-Heinz is changing the perception that beam steering is knowledge and time-intensive — for niche applications only. The new algorithm is the culmination of decades of expertise in steerable technology, replacing the previous “best-fit” algorithm to now deliver unmatched sound and coverage for 100% of venues with less time and knowledge required than ever before. 

The end result is custom-tailored coverage precisely dialed into the exact geometry of each space, resulting in the most consistent front-to-back audio experience possible. Equally important, OmniBeam allows integrators, regardless of their level of expertise, to achieve great results with minimal effort, every time. The all-new algorithm generates ideal FIR coefficients for every unique venue, delivering faster, better and more consistent results than ever before with less time and knowledge needed.

The unique coverage programmed for each specific application is the perfect solution for music and live sound applications. The uncertainty that comes with live performances requires a user-friendly, adaptable system. OmniBeam has the capability to work flawlessly with any venue, any performance and any user.

ICLive X Series

The ICLive X Series is the most versatile steerable line array on the market, ready to solve even the most challenging projects with directed, intelligible sound. As the intelligent evolution of the small-format line array, the ICLive X Series represents over 15 years of research and development of digital beam-steering technology. With the ICLive X Series, Renkus-Heinz has created a compact, high-output and high-fidelity integrated system to meet the needs of nearly any live sound environment — perfect for both portable or performance-based fixed installations. 

The ICLive X has been designed from the ground up to be the single most scalable sound system ever created: each mid-sized ICLX module can stand alone or be arrayed with up to 12 units to deliver precise and predictable coverage for any venue. The complementary ICLX-118S subwoofer adds powerful low-frequency energy to any ICLive X system, and a wide range of rigging and cabling accessories help simplify integration and deployment of the ICLive X Series. With ultimate flexibility, coverage and powerful beam-steering technology, the ICLive X Series offers peak sound performance in a versatile, sleek design — something no traditional loudspeaker system can match.

UBX Series

The award-winning UBX Series brings Renkus-Heinz’s industry-leading sound quality and coverage into the realm of passive arrays, creating more opportunities for AV contractors, consultants and sound system engineers to craft the perfect sound solution for their projects. Utilizing the same complex steering algorithms as Renkus-Heinz’s flagship ICONYX columns, the UBX Series’ new Passive UniBeam™ Technology delivers pristine sound and consistent coverage with minimal distortions or side lobe artifacts. 

The UBX Series hardware addresses each transducer with specially designed all-pass filter networks, gain shading and frequency filtering in order to generate a downward steered asymmetrical vertical lobe with constant directivity — resulting in unmatched coverage and speech intelligibility from the front of the room to the back. 

Available in three weather-resistant sizes — UBX4, UBX8 and UBX16 — all UBX Series models feature an ultra-sleek, unobtrusive cabinet that can be surface-mounted plumb to the wall to ensure minimal architectural intrusion in any space.

Iconyx Compact Series

The Iconyx Compact Series brings the performance and directivity synonymous with Renkus-Heinz to spaces where even the classic ICONYX arrays might be too large. With an ultra-narrow profile and exceptional directivity control, Iconyx Compact is well-suited to even the most architecturally sensitive houses of worship, transportation hubs and educational facilities requiring the outstanding performance and high intelligibility of beam-steered line arrays. 

ICONYX Gen5 Series 

As part of the ICONYX Gen5 Series of digitally steerable loudspeaker arrays, the IC8-RD combines digital control and steering with exceptional audio fidelity. This model also features dual redundant Dante connectivity and the RHAON II System Manager — the second generation of the Renkus-Heinz Audio Operations Network software — to bring a new level of flexibility and control to ICONYX installations. The IC8-RD easily stores and recalls up to 10 configuration presets. With a slim, low-profile design and powerful audio abilities, the IC8-RD is ideal for houses of worship, stadiums and arenas, transportation terminals and other reverberant spaces.

The Hague, Netherlands | January 3, 2024 — Driven by market intelligence and a deep passion for the best acoustic experiences, Renkus-Heinz announces the launch of an immersive Experience Center in the heart of Europe in The Hague, Netherlands. The Experience Center evinces an exciting new chapter for the company in Europe, providing a new way to connect directly with Dutch and European system integrators, consultants and distribution partners and let visitors experience the loudspeaker solutions Renkus-Heinz offers firsthand.

Facilitated by More Distribution, the Experience Center will highlight the next-generation, immersive audio magic that can be created when combining Renkus-Heinz loudspeakers with the avant-garde Active Acoustic and 3D sound source spatialization from technology partner Amadeus Acoustics.

To celebrate the launch of the Experience Center, Renkus-Heinz invited distribution partners from across the continent to a productive workshop and demo experience. The event served as an opportunity to celebrate Renkus-Heinz’s partnerships, demonstrate new technologies and exchange ideas about the company’s vision and roadmap.

Every attendee had the chance to experience and learn about Renkus-Heinz’s flagship ICONYX steerable lineup including the ICLive X Series, Iconyx Compact Series and ICONYX Gen5 — all powered by OmniBeam, a powerful evolution in beam-shaping software that generates instant, custom-tailored coverage for any space. By making steerable solutions as easy to deploy as traditional point-and-shoot loudspeakers, OmniBeam enables more venues and applications to benefit from the incredible audio experiences beam steering is known for. Also on display was the UBX Series, the company’s newest, multi-award winning loudspeaker series of pre-steered passive columns. The diverse showcase demonstrates that Renkus-Heinz is ready to assist in projects that prioritize great sound, even coverage and seamless integration with aesthetics and other equipment.

“We’re seeing a growing trend of projects across Europe, and we want to keep up the momentum,” said Renkus-Heinz Export Marketing Director Michal Poplawski.

Moving forward, the Experience Center will serve as a central meeting point for Renkus-Heinz and Amadeus Acoustics clients, consultants and integrators to experience the latest technologies and innovations in person.

“The collaboration with Amadeus Acoustics was a logical decision,” said Poplawski.  “It’s the perfect combination of advanced active acoustics and premium loudspeakers for an immersive experience, with exceptional pattern control, sound quality, and integration with room aesthetics. The introduction of beam-steerable loudspeakers adds a major advancement, offering new possibilities. We’re excited to welcome visitors to experience it for themselves at our location in The Hague, where we showcase new features such as voice lift.”

Team members from Renkus-Heinz were on site to support the launch of the Experience Center. The team gave an in-depth market analysis presentation, discussing the company’s positioning and roadmap, and also demonstrated its products and software, utilizing Amadeus Acoustics’ active acoustics and immersive audio technology to show how Renkus-Heinz loudspeakers perform in different acoustic environments.

“Our plan is to continue to be a leader in loudspeaker technology,” said Renkus-Heinz Vice President of International Sales Karl Brunvoll, “but we want to work closer with our distributors and define what direction we should take going forward. I think we had a great session together.”

Brunvoll added, “The opening of this Experience Center is our response to the European market, as traditional in-person sessions have and will have a huge value to us. With our new team at the helm, launching this Experience Center feels like a clear step in the right direction.”

With the ICLive X Series, Renkus-Heinz has created a compact, high-output and high-fidelity integrated system to meet the needs of nearly any live sound environment — perfect for both portable or performance-based fixed installations. 

The ICLive X has been designed from the ground up to be the single most scalable sound system ever created: each mid-sized ICLX module can stand alone or be arrayed with up to 12 units to deliver precise and predictable coverage for any venue. The complementary ICLX-118S subwoofer adds powerful low-frequency energy to any ICLive X system, and a wide range of rigging and cabling accessories help simplify integration and deployment of the ICLive X Series. With ultimate flexibility, coverage and powerful beam-steering technology, the ICLive X Series offers peak sound performance in a versatile, sleek design — something no traditional loudspeaker system can match.

C Series

C Series point source loudspeakers offer outstanding, high-power audio at a competitive, cost-effective price. With versatile enclosure designs, go-anywhere hardware and rugged construction to help solve any sound reinforcement challenges with ease, the C Series is an ideal option for applications requiring both compact size and outstanding sonic performance. 

The CA/CX121M 12-inch stage monitor is an excellent choice for portable and installed PA functions, from DJ systems and rental AV to performing art centers, night clubs and stadiums. The CA/CX121M offers flexibility as a pole-mounted side fill or a sound reinforcement system and removes the need for drive unit rotation or reconfiguration. The monitors are available in four variants, one passive and three powered: analog, RHAON and Dante. 

S Series

The S Series features the SA/SX112, a highly powerful 12-inch woofer in an extremely easy-to-integrate cabinet. Designed for power and flexibility, the subwoofer has sixteen M10 universal mounting points that allow the SX/SA112 to be flown using M10 eyebolts. At the same time, the recessed handles, top-mounted pole adapter and available casters make portable use easy and practical.

P Series

Packed with the latest generation Complex Conic horn geometry and patented CoEntrant Mid/High driver technology, the Renkus-Heinz P Series delivers uncompromising detail and extreme sound pressure levels for live sound applications. Advanced amplification, processing and protection through Renkus-Heinz’s own SA Amplifiers provide the ultimate in performance, consistency, and reliability. 

Offering high directivity, high output and impeccable vertical design, the P3-64 was developed specifically for applications needing wide horizontal directivity and tightly controlled vertical directivity. Designed for easy, unobtrusive mounting on walls and columns, the P3-64 is also engineered with flexibility in mind and features a recessed handle for easy portability and a standard pole socket for sound-on-a-stick applications.
